Official Release Date for the Empluse?
« on: December 20, 2010, 01:28:27 PM »
I all, I have reserved my Empulse and am very excited for its release.  I am tight on money, but want to know what you speculate the release time to be, the deals they might have (i remember the enertia had a 0% APR from Best Buy), financing options and all that.  Obviously this is purely speculative but I think it would be a cool subject to speculate on since we're all going to be purchasing it at one point in time.

Welcome to the forum.

I would speculate by the end of July 2011 based on what I have read. I am financing at 0% interest through Best Buy (HSBC) and I suspect they would offer it up again for the Empulse.

Thanks!

Yeah, i assumed that it would be a Mid-Summer release, judging by all the news releases.  I am hoping they offer that 0%, but did you have to put a down payment on it?  Sorry for asking all these questions that are probably answered easily...i'm a n00b

I did not not need to put a down payment on it, but I was kind of pushy. Feel free to ask questions. It would have been great for me to get information directly from Brammo owners before I bought one. I spent a ton of time watching online videos and reading online as much as I could about Brammo before this forum existed.

The exact calculated mid-2011 day is July 2nd; not that I am looking forward to the official release date or anything. ;D

Wow... that's some impressive OCD, Phantom.

Yea, that was good, but I'm surprised you left out the time of day!

The Julian calendar has 365.25 days in it, so:

Of course, we *know* 2011 is not a leap year, so...

Still, I wouldn't mind if Brammo took those extra three hours to make the bike _extra_ good!  ;-)
